1 Which of the following is a law passed by Congress? ANSWER statutory law.
2 Which is the only crime defined in the Constitution? ANSWER treason.
3 Which of the following happens if a conflict occurs between a statute and the Constitution? ANSWER the constitution prevails.
To determine the correct answers to these questions, let's break down the options and explain how to get to the answers.
Question 1: Which of the following is a law passed by Congress?
A. Common law: Common law refers to legal principles developed by judges rather than laws passed by Congress. Common law is based on previous court decisions rather than legislative action.
B. Constitutional law: Constitutional law consists of legal principles derived from the United States Constitution, so it is not directly passed by Congress.
C. Natural law: Natural law refers to a body of moral and ethical principles believed to be inherent in human nature. It is not a law passed by Congress.
D. Statutory law: Statutory law is law created by the legislative branch of government, so it is indeed passed by Congress. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Statutory law.
Question 2: Which is the only crime defined in the Constitution?
A. Treason: The Constitution explicitly defines treason as an offense against the United States. So, the correct answer is A. Treason.
Question 3: What happens if a conflict occurs between a statute and the Constitution?
A. A new amendment to the Constitution must be written: While amendments can be added to the Constitution if changes are needed, this is not the immediate or automatic result when a conflict arises between a statute and the Constitution.
B. The Constitution prevails: When a conflict occurs between a statute and the Constitution, the Constitution is considered the supreme law of the land. Therefore, the correct answer is B. The Constitution prevails.
C. The statute prevails: In the hierarchy of laws, the Constitution is considered superior to statutes. Statutes that violate the Constitution can be deemed unconstitutional and invalidated by the courts.
D. Congress needs a three-fourths majority to pass the statute: The process of passing a statute does not change based on conflicts with the Constitution. The usual procedure for passing a statute requires a majority vote in both houses of Congress and the President's signature.
